Joplin area representatives voted to override vetoes

The Joplin-area members of the Missouri House of Representatives unanimously voted to override Gov. Jay Nixon's vetoes of House Bills 436 and 253 Wednesday.

Representatives Charlie Davis, Tom Flanigan, Mike Kelley, Bill Lant, Bill Reiboldt, and Bill White, voted to override both of the vetoes.

On the Senate side, Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, voted to sustain Nixon's override of HB 436, the so-called gun bill. HB 253 was not voted on by the Senate, since it did not survive the veto override attempt in the House.
